It was the second leg of the 1993 UCI Road World Cup. Belgian Johan Museeuw won his first Tour of Flanders in a two-man sprint against Frans Maassen.[2] The race started in Sint-Niklaas and finished in Meerbeke (Ninove).[3]
At 68 km from the finish, eight riders broke away, with twofold winner Edwig Van Hooydonck and Belgian national champion Johan Museeuw at the front. Museeuw attacked on Tenbosse climb, followed by Dutchman Frans Maassen. Maassen, considered the slower sprinter, refused to work after the Muur van Geraardsbergen. Museeuw and Maassen stayed ahead, with Museeuw controlling the sprint and taking his first win in the World Cup race. Dario Bottaro won the sprint for third.
